malegaze Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Yeah, his combo of charm, mustache and body (and willingness to show it off) do it for me. There's a good clip of him doing a shirtless interview backstage on the sparkarena instagram feed that is 🔥! Redwine56 1

KrisParr Posted May 12 Posted May 12 I just started watching some of his videos. My taste is men is definitely changing as I age. And oh my, my mouth is watering. Sort of has that younger Justin Timberlake vibe. His recent SNL appearance is worth a watch. spidir 1
TonyDown Posted May 12 Posted May 12 (edited) I streamed his Coachella show on YouTube. Good show! I knew little about him before that. https://youtube.com/shorts/OqzIvHRYKL4?si=CrVdFhox7I-qDD61 Edited May 12 by TonyDown pubic_assistance 1
+ leo2510 Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Benson was born and raised in Monroe, WA and grew up Mormon, tho is not currently observant. Way hot and not afraid to show it, dreamy! KrisParr 1

maninsoma Posted June 22 Posted June 22 He's not my "type," and it's impossible to tell how well he can sing because his vocals are overly processed by pitch correction software (like every other pop record today -- even those from people who are great singers).

Are there any "great singers" out there today ? Ive heard that Stefani Germanotta does actually know how to sing...but who else ? Can't think of anyone. Meanwhile I would totally fuck Benson Boone whether or not he can sing. Edited June 22 by pubic_assistance spelling Hen, KrisParr and ShortCutie7 1 1 1
KrisParr Posted June 22 Posted June 22 Our favorite AI friend says: ‘Yes, Benson Boone is widely regarded as a technically impressive and emotionally charged singer, particularly in pop-rock and ballad contexts. However, some critics feel his artistry is still evolving, especially on lyrical depth and authenticity.” As previously stated, he can wash my car, or anything else he cares to, just about any time.

There are more “great singers” out there than you think. Sadly, the vast majority are not famous because talent/skill is not highly valued in mainstream music. Stefani/GaGa is indeed a fantastic singer with excellent vocal technique. Boone’s strengths (from what I’ve heard/seen of him) lie in his ability to navigate vocal registers and perform with energy/conviction (and yes, he’s hot) though I wouldn’t call him a “great singer” quite yet. pubic_assistance 1

Everyone always thinks the generation of music before them or who they grew up with is better than the new or current generation of music. It’s a repeated cycle. Same thing was said about the Beatles, when they first came out. I have learned to appreciate music of all generations. Today being a good songwriter is more important than being a great vocalist in the pop music world. That’s why Taylor Swift is dominating the pop music world today, even though she is average vocally. As for “great singers today”, I can name a few in addition to Gaga. Though mainly female… Chappell Roan, Adele, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé (though she isn’t new). Edited June 23 by caramelsub
viewing ownly Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Their style of music isn't my thing, but I feel Alicia Keys and John Legend have the best voices of famous singer / songwriters today. Karen Carpenter to me had the most pleasing singing voice of anyone I've heard in my lifetime. At least Benson got spot-on advice when he auditioned for American Idol - he was too good to waste his time competing on that show. It's been eons since that tv program churned out a winner with a consistent hit catalog. pubic_assistance 1

This is very true. However, my comment was about VOICES, not music. I mentioned Stefani because she can sing without all the technology. I don't particularly like any of her music. I grew up listening to some of my parents music (the Beatles, Mamas and the Poppas) and I thought these people have great voices. Whether of not I like the music, I dont hear anyone in today's scene who I feel is a talented singer. It's all stage performance, not vocalists that are important. I guess its the Madonna Ciccone effect. VERY successful performer in spite of the fact she took voice lessons for years and still embarrassed herself during the filming of Evita.

For a while it was the Britney Spears effect. (Who I love too) She pretty much made it so every female singer had to dance and put on a performance. Singing became more visual. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. I won’t comment on Madonna, because I’m generally not a fan of her vocals or singing. Christina Aguilera is another singer in the more recent generation who I think rivals Whitney Houston in terms of vocal power. pubic_assistance 1
+ Lucky Posted June 23 Posted June 23 https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/2025/06/20/benson-boone-american-heart-review/ In pop music, the danger of making yourself memorable is that you must eventually transcend people’s memories. For Benson Boone, that means proving he’s more than a singing mustache who does backflips. On his new album, “American Heart,” he tries and tries. These are over-sung pop songs designed to flatter the world with their unyielding sense of effort, resulting in something fizzy, dizzying, occasionally fun and fundamentally shrewd. Before we even get to Boone’s voice, it’s helpful to know there’s such a sharp mind behind that moisturized mustache — a mind that knew quitting “American Idol” in 2021 would make him appear more interesting than actually winning; a mind that knew it could send ripples across social media every time he performed a flip in concert because no one in this wide world — in all its untamed imagination — had ever bothered to visualize Tom Selleck fronting Bad Brains. Boone’s voice is made of elastic and caramel, and he uses it to generate muscly whimpers that sound deeply studied in the acrobatics of Bruno Mars, the roguishness of Olivia Rodrigo and the sogginess of Hozier. Toss some Freddie Mercurial pomp onto the mood board, add a spritz of perspiration from an ’80s aerobics class, then shred everything into itty-bits of rainbow confetti and you’re pretty much there. It’s a voice that refuses to be moderated or confined, which means it sounds absolutely terrific whenever Boone rubs a lyric against the laws of alchemy or metaphysics. During the glammy thump of “Wanted Man,” he huffs and puffs in the direction of a dancing woman made of “liquid gold.” On “Mystical Magical” — a hit single that brings Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” down to mall-walking tempo — he serves a melting melody in playful falsetto, describing his love as “moonbeam ice cream.” Fabulous. Two scoops, please. Wait, hold on a second, what does “moonbeam ice cream” even mean? Oh, nothing at all, according to Boone during a recent interview with the equally pointless Jimmy Fallon. Same goes for Boone’s album title and its closing track, “Young American Heart.” It’s a power ballad about “living in some crazy times,” and how death might not be that bad so long as the love and friendship felt good. In the refrain, Boone roars, “If I’m gonna die a young American, and this was the final night we’d ever have again, I’d be just fine as long as I’m wherever you are.” Please forgive the fellow survivors of said crazy times for craving something more than complete meaninglessness, here — a disappointment that only deepens once you’ve seen this album’s cover: an image of Boone draping the American flag over his beautifully dirty, sunburned torso. He looks as if he’s been rolling around in Pennzoil and Rao’s marinara, and for what? All of this messy vapidity makes “Momma Song” the album’s standout. It’s an uncharacteristically solemn orchestral number that forces Boone to imagine a future tragedy worthy of his throat’s dexterity. In the refrain, the singer invites his mom on a trip down memory lane, asking her to recount her old loves, her old haunts, her favorite songs — because, “I’m gonna need this when I’m holding pictures of you and that’s all that I’ve got left.” In this tender, confused, bravura moment, Boone’s failure to hack his music’s fundamental problem ends up being the best reason to keep listening: His life has yet to grow into his voice.

I asked an acquaintance who is a musician was it true Gaga was a great technical singer, because I am tone deaf and can't tell, but I also don't find her voice pleasing. Like, at all. And he replied "yes, and actually nearly all pop singers, even those who are not regarded as good, are technically skilled." Madonna may be a worse singer, but I think her songs are much better written/enjoyable. She herself repeatedly said she wasn't doing it because she thought she had a fantastic voice, but because she had something to say. caramelsub 1
